Secret Cortana commands

[locowd]

I asked cortana to call my "wife" on my phone and she did. The creepy part is that she called my "wife", even though I do not have (my wife) labeled or tagged as my wife anywhere. I just have her saved with her name (different last name), although the same address. Creepy but kinda cool.

"Sing me another song"

"Can you beatbox"

Oh, interesting, since in Windows 10 she lost the capability to have aliases that it had in Windows 8.1. You could set up aliases for your contacts and also could tell her who your family members are, IIRC.

Looks like Cortana doesn't have many secrets? (Or they are really good secrets !)

Ask Cortana "Who does your voice" and it will reveal the name of the actress who voices her.

LOL... Not quite, she's a smart !!

...!!

Interesting, I consistently get this...

I guess her response changes with the regional settings on our phone

...!!

Maybe? I am not sure why that would be though. Jen Taylor is the voice actress who voices Cortana in the Halo movies and for the digital assistant, so the answer would make sense regardless of region? But I have no idea, I get the response on both my Surface Pro and iPhone using Cortana, but of course they are in the same region

I'm surprised this list doesn't have more.

Here are some:
Cortana, tell me a joke.
Cortana, sing a song
Cortana, do you like dogs?
Cortana, will you marry me?
Cortana, knock knock
Cortana, what do you think of Siri?
Cortana what do you think of halo
Cortana, why are you blue?
